Enbridge recently announced plans to bolster efforts to reduce emissions from all fully company-owned pipelines and operations in North America, including Line 5 in Michigan.

“Sustainability is integral to our ability to safely and reliably deliver the energy people need and want," said Al Monaco, President and Chief Executive Officer of Enbridge. "How well we perform as a steward of our environment, a safe operator of essential energy infrastructure, and as a diverse and inclusive employer is inextricably linked to our business success and our ability to create long-term value for all stakeholders.”

Enbridge’s goals include:

Achieving net-zero GHG emissions by 2050^{1, 3}; with an interim target to reduce intensity of GHG emissions 35% by 2030^{1, 2}
Increasing representation of diverse groups within our workforce by 2025, including acceleration of existing goals of 28% from racial and ethnic groups, along with new actions to enhance supplier diversity

¹ GHG emissions included within our targets are from assets over which we have operational control (Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions). Projected reductions of GHG emissions intensity and absolute emissions is relative to the 2018 baseline year. For more information, see our 2023 Sustainability Report.
² This metric aggregates emissions and throughput for each business unit on the basis of tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per energy delivered in petajoules (“PJ”). Estimated emissions (tCO2e) and volume (PJ) information as at Q4, 2023 is based on pre-audited numbers.
³ Absolute emissions.
